XXRs are generally cast wheels. They strive for lightweight cast wheels though if that means anything to you. They are less than half the price of the Enkeis so you can't expect the MAT perk. The supposed weight for the 17x8.25 is right under 20 lbs and 20.x lbs for the 17x9.75, which is not bad at all for a cast wheel.
What would be best for nsx size?
18x10 +20 is the only size for rear?
17x7 +35 and 18x8.75 +35 (or+20 which extends ~1/2 inch out) would be a nice conservative setup for the NSX. You can still run 215/40/17 and 255/35/18. 265/36/18 may fit across the 8.75 width...
10.25 +20 would be really aggressive but match 17x8.25 +35 pretty well.

Thanks for the info. So you saying with the 18x8.75 +20 would have a bigger concave? Or just poke out in general?

No. The +20 will just fill out the fender better for the NSX. I think there are only two faces to these wheels. The minimally concave at 17x7 and the extreme concavity that is for the 17x8+ and 18x8+.
This wheel looks really similar to the TSW Tanaka Rotary Forged Wheel

TSW Panorama Rotary Forged (maybe as a front with a Tanaka rear?)
Welcome to 2 months ago Batmans!! :biggrin:
Also they are NOT FORGED!! They are "Rotory Forged" which means that they are Cast and then lip is flow formed to create a "forge-like" structure in the lip of the rim only. Very similar to Enkei's MAT process.
well that's what i meant. but since i'm responding on the fart phone u'll have to gimme a break....
+1, I'm really interested to see these on a "live" car.
I found somewhere on the EVO X forum that the 18x9.5 was ~21lbs allegedly confirmed by an Enkei rep, so they're definitley on the light end of the scale even if not the absolute lightest wheel out there.
Received mine yesterday. The matte grey is an amazing color. I can't wait to get these mounted and installed. I'll post pics up once I do.
Toss them on a scale if you get the chance before mounting everything up.
Yes, I'm very surprised that there are no pics posted here yet. I'm considering a set.
As hot as I expected! Look great!!
That's a great looking wheel although I won't give you any awards for your photography. LOL that first pic I cant see anything. Second pic is not bad.
They are very open. If you have ugly brakes.... You'd have to clean/paint. Thats the drawback of such open designs.
Thanks for the pics finally. Did you weigh them? What sizes and offsets are those?

Wheels look great! I'll have to agree with Turbo on the brakes. Clean and paint. Red would go well with your setup!

Take some pictures front/rear looking down the side of the car to show how the rims line up with the fenders! Pretty please?
